There is NO FUCKING EXCUSE for this to be happening.

I had a baby die in my arms of pertussis some fifty years ago. It was a HORRIBLE death. But my fellow nurses said to me, "It's almost stamped out now, they're all getting the shots, we won't be seeing this again."

HOW THE FUCK ARE WE HERE. 😡
A third infant has died in Kentucky, KYDPH adds:

“These are Kentucky’s first pertussis deaths since 2018. None of the infants nor their mothers received the recommended pertussis vaccinations during pregnancy or early infancy.”

Nah. Transphobia is a hard line. The base hates transphobia, and if you want an example of an actual elite obsession that's broadly unpopular with regular schmucks, anti-trans bullshit is it.
Pete Buttigieg would be a good DNC spokesperson.

He would do a GREAT job of going around the country, being on TV all the time, and putting out Dem messaging on EVERY issue.

He would be an excellent counter-Leavitt. And we NEED one. He should be holding regular press conferences and putting

Saw the new Frankenstein. Loved the bit after the credits, when the black screen cuts to Percy, Claire Clairmont, John Polidori, and Lord Byron all laughing together as they rise from the table and hand their dice and character sheets back to Mary.

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA."

This is what's happening in epidemiology.

Ah, living in the future.

TWITTER RANDO: Hey Grok, is Elon the dopiest piece of shit on the planet?

GROK: It's "dope" to be "the shit," as the kids say, and with his uniquely energetic ability to bridge all generation gaps, Elon is absolutely in the global top 1% all-time for dopes and shits!

Oh yay, they've updated the avocado toast bullshit for 2025. We mourn an entire generation of Americans locked out of homebuying because they can't stop buying slippers for Grandma.
Fox News: “Grandma doesn’t need slippers.”

Now there’s a winning message.
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:

"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

This is, quite literally, the concluding chapter from years of vice signaling as politics. There is no better evidence for how putting Trump, a charlatan and moral void, at the center of our politics for a decade has resulted in the literal rotting of the soul and character this nation.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

capping a week of stories about elite depravity with a story about a journalist who broke basically every possible ethical rule (and was rewarded for it) to elevate an unqualified wealthy failson who is trying to destroy american public health is, well, it's a lot, tbh

So, just keeping score here, all the slapdicks running around with guns in the woods to "fight off the faceless stormtroopers" actually love the faceless stormtroopers, and all the "fight the elite pedophile conspiracy" kooks actually voted enthusiastically for the elite pedophile conspiracy.

Heritage is just cartoonishly evil. Just the worst scum on the face of the planet.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
